I don't think it was pilot error and there's no way that loop was in the official flight plan, no way!

Interestingly the Hawker Hunter was one of the first planes to be trialed with "fly by wire", was this perhaps a hack?

Notice the downward part of the loop is flattened, before attempted recovery, was this the fraction of a second where the pilot over rode the fly by wire to regain control?

From wiki on fly by wire:

"At about the same time in the United Kingdom a trainer variant of the British Hawker Hunter fighter was modified at the British Royal Aircraft Establishment with fly-by-wire flight controls[8] for the right-seat pilot. This was test-flown, with the left-seat pilot having conventional flight controls for safety reasons, and with the capability for him to override and turn off the fly-by-wire system.[citation needed] It flew in April 1972."

The black box will tell.
